The technique further includes determining a line of sight of a user relative to the display, acquiring a first image based on the synchronization signal, and processing the first image based on the line of sight of the user to generate a first processed image. Finally, the technique includes compositing first visual information and the first processed image to generate a first composited image, and displaying the first composited image on the display. | 2015-07-09 |
20150194129 | TOUCH DEVICE AND DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD - A touch device includes an execution module, a sensing electrode and a first control module. The execution module is configured to implement a user interface. The sensing electrode is configured to sense a touch event of an icon corresponding to the user interface. The first control module is configured to couple to the sensing electrode, enable a distribution setting according to the touch event, build a first communication channel according to a physical adjacency between the touch device and another touch device, and send transmitting data corresponding to the distribution setting to the other touch device through the first communication channel. | 2015-07-09 |
20150194130 | EARPHONE SYSTEM FOR MOBILE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME - An apparatus and method are provided. The apparatus includes a display and a controller operatively coupled with the display. The controller is configured to determine whether the apparatus is coupled with an output device external to the apparatus, and to adjust a brightness of the display based at least in part on a determination that the apparatus is coupled with the output device. | 2015-07-09 |
